Nestwatch news: Robins
After some good breakfast and wing practice, the first Robin baby has left the nest an hour ago. Robins cannot fly properly when they fledge, so the young ones follow the parents around by foot for a couple of days, learning how to feed and survive. (I put a Birdsy cam by the nest when they were putting the finishing touches on it. Eggs were laid a day after, perfect timing.) I am so happy to see them succeed, especially after the fail last year. Two are left, and I am livestreaming this nest on my Birdsy channel and in the livestream section on here.
